Headout Picks 3/5/14

RUSSIAN CIRCLES[MUSIC] While Explosions in the Sky
soundtracks fictional high-school football games, Russian Circles
rewrites the score for the apocalypse. Memorial, the fifth and
most dynamic release from the instrumental metal trio, conveys an
unnerving sense of inevitable destruction, and the foolish notion that
you can outrun it. Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell St., 284-8686. 7 pm. $17 advance, $20 day of show. All ages.

FRIDAY MARCH 7

INDEPENDENT WOMEN[THEATER] Remember the halcyon days of Destiny’s Child? That trio’s 2000 album, Independent Women Part 1,
was the launchpad for this show, which is also inspired by Rosie the
Riveter. Expect a mashup of text, song and, presumably, bangin’ dance
moves. Action/Adventure Theatre, 1050 SE Clinton St., socialsciencesproductions.com. 8 pm. $15.

MASHA GESSEN[BOOKS] Having
followed rabble-rousing Russian punk band Pussy Riot since their 2012
incarceration, Masha Gessen now offers an account in her new book, Words Will Break Cement: The Passion of Pussy Riot. Powell’s City of Books, 1005 W Burnside St., 228-4651. 7:30 pm. Free.
